Laser Therapy

For over 40 years Low Level Lasers have been researched and proven effective at reducing pain, inflammation and edema, while promoting the healing of superficial wounds, deeper tissues and nerves, and preventing cell death. Since 1967, over 100 phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials (the gold standard) have been published and are supported by over 1000 laboratory studies.

In 2002, U.S. laser manufacturer Erchonia received the first FDA market clearance (PL5 laser) for low level laser treatment of Neck and Shoulder pain. In 2014, FDA clearance was received for Plantar Fasciitis/heel pain (FX 635). Presently over 2000 published studies on LLLT have revealed zero negative side effects.

“How does low level laser work?”

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) reduces pain and inflammation, while stimulating tissues to heal faster. Human cells produce a chemical known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) to power the body. It’s like gasoline for a car. LLLT stimulates the cell’s mitochondria (nicknamed the “powerhouse” because it produces ATP) to step up production of ATP. With more ATP available, tissues heal faster and relief comes quicker. Usually, you will notice health benefits in addition to what you are being treated for. Because ATP and other chemicals being produced are “systemic”, they circulate throughout the body. Experimental mice with both paws burned had fastest healing on the lasered paw, but their untreated paws also healed faster than the paws of the non-lasered control mice.
